Val Verde County, County seat in southwestern Texas, United States
Val Verde County spans 3,233 square miles across the Edwards Plateau, featuring limestone formations intersected by numerous canyons and the Devils River.
The county, established in 1885, received its name from the Battle of Valverde, a significant Civil War engagement in the New Mexico Territory.
The county maintains strong connections to both American and Mexican traditions due to its location along the border and large Hispanic population.
Southwest Texas Junior College provides higher education opportunities to residents, while Laughlin Air Force Base employs many county citizens.
The limestone caves and rock shelters within Val Verde County contain artifacts and evidence of human habitation dating back 10,000 years.
